Fullington, Joyce Camille (nee Hedberg) – Born into Eternal Life on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at age 94.
Joyce was preceded in death by her loving husband, Richard; parents, Henning and Agnes Hedberg; her children, Mary Jane and Jimmy; brother, Bob; her twin sister, Jean; grandson, Eric, other relatives and friends. Joyce was the devoted wife of Richard for 49 years. She is survived by her children, Diane (Joe) Losek, Rick (Karen) Fullington, David (Sue) Fullington, Jeanne (Tom Langlois) Fullington, and Susan (Richard) Rageth. Joyce was the very proud grandma to Melissa, Lauren, Eric, Ryan, Lindsay, Scott, Josh, Jordan and Krista, and special GG to Morgan, Miles, Maci, Matilda, Mya, JJ, Delaney, Caleb, Ridley and Kai. Her heart and life goal of having a family fulfilled.
Born in Milwaukee, Joyce attended West Allis Central High School and met her husband, Richard while he was on leave from the U.S. Navy. Joyce and family settled in New Berlin in 1964 where she continued as homemaker, short order cook, cheering section, and chauffeur to her five children.
Joyce cherished all the luncheons, shopping and companionship with her sister-in-law, Rita Martin, her niece, Pattie Hedberg, and her nephew, Mike Hedberg. Joyce enjoyed her standing weekly hair appointments with her 50+ year friend, Kathy, had a passion for reading her Christmas Romance novels while often enjoying her Starbucks Grande Decaf Skinny Vanilla Latte’s, and was a devoted fan of the Green Bay Packers and Scottie Scheffler. Joyce will be remembered for her loving heart, her selflessness to all, her “I can do it on my own” attitude and strong Catholic faith.
Joyce’s family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Brookdale Assisted Living and Brighton Hospice staff for their supportive and compassionate care of our mom.
“Until then, Mom, we will wait for that tap on our shoulder.”
